Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
We all love to wander, it’s nature to roam
That’s something that’s born in us all
The high road, the city, the billowy foam
I’m one who has answered the call
The wanderlust beckons, I pack up and go
The world is a playground to me
But since I’ve met you dear, I want you to know
There’s one place that I want to be!
Refrain
‘Neath the South Sea Moon with you
By the love lagoon so blue
Where the balmy breeze blows sweet melodies
It is all so enthralling, our love is calling, dear!
O’er the silver sands we’ll stray
On the coral strands we’ll play
And I’d love to be for eternity
‘Neath the South Sea Moon with you
